What's it about?
This month We’ll dive into Low Level USB with Microsoft .NET
Peter Shaw – Low Level USB with .NET:
UARTs, we all have them, just about every microcontroller has one built in, but did you know that some of them actually have special powers?
We take it for granted, that these days we can plug in a cable, and have some kind of virtual com-port to talk to our Arduinos, ESP32’s and other similar gadgets, but how many of you know, that the humble UART (or more specifically) the humble UART based on the “Future Technology” chip-set, is actually a GPIO device in its own right.
We routinely employ Arduinos and ESP32’s to build I2C and SPI systems, but with the FT232R & FT232H USB serial devices, you can actually connect one of these devices directly to your PC’s USB port and then directly connect many I2C and SPI devices directly to it.
Even better, the driver software can run as a user managed DLL and be accessed directly from standard C# and .NET code.
In this session, I’ll give you an introduction on how do this, and build your own PC IoT devices, driven by .NET

About Our Speakers:
Peter Shaw:
Peter “Shawty” Shaw has been hacking a torturing computers and electronics since the late 1970’s, now in his 4th decade of this unhealthy obsession, he’s still finding ever more creative ways to abuse technology and make it do things it was never intended to do.
From the BBC Micro to a million dollar mainframe he’s had his grubby paws on them all, and showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.
